“Abortion is an economic issue. Over the past half century under Roe, access to abortion allowed women to determine their own destiny regarding education, employment and if or when to have a family, resulting in greater participation in our economy. #txlege”

“Confusion and threats of losing MD license, $100K in fines, & life in prison have had a chilling effect even w/ ectopic pregnancies which #txlege specifically omitted from definition of abortion statue in 2017.”

“The fight isnt over in the courts, and its also a live issue in the November election. A future Trump administration could drastically restrict or even ban mifepristone; an anti-abortion FDA commissioner could slap old restrictions on the drug; the DOJ could enforce Comstock.”

“Make no mistake, reproductive rights are on the ballot this Nov. @texasdemocrats are the only party fighting for every persons right to determine their OWN destiny and make decisions about their body. We are fighting to ensure every Texan can access quality healthcare services, attend well-funded public schools, and have the support they need to thrive. WE are the party of life & we will never stop fighting for Texas families.”

“Great weekend at the @texasdemocrats Convention in El Paso! Our party will never stop fighting to ensure that every Texan, every Texas woman, has the ability to determine their own destiny and to make their own decisions about if and when to have a family. Proud to have shared the stage with my friend, and fellow womens health champion, Rep. Toni Rose. We spoke about the importance of taking care of ALL TX moms by ensuring access to the full range of womens health services, including access to abortion care.”

“Todays ruling from Tx Supreme Court highlights need to get informed, engaged, and committed to protecting womens freedom to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions and to do so with their physicians and not politicians. Learn more here:”

“This ruling places blame on doctors who risk their license, $100K/event, & LIFETIME IN PRISON if anyone disagrees w/ their decision & challenges. Before trigger ban & SB8, doctors were using their medical judgment to provide abortion care in complicated pregnancies w/o question.”

"maternal mortality review committee should be 'unbiased, free of conflicts of interest & focused on appropriate standards of care…be experts whose work is informed by data, not ideology & bias. Abortion is inherently tied to maternal health (&) can be lifesaving,'" @acog.
May 22, 2024
“One of most striking comments from @texmed. OB-GYN Dr. Joseph Valenti said guidelines made situation more confusing & dangerous limiting use of reasonable medical judgment & delaying lifesaving & fertility-saving measures. 'Remember: Dead mothers do not lead to live babies.'”

“Pregnancy related deaths, if any, following an abortion should absolutely be part of MMMRC review. Had a bill to address redaction issues which passed in House but stalled in Senate. If passed, would expedite review while still protecting identifying data.”
May 17, 2024
“Of course, abortion is related to pregnancy and (so are) deaths from an abortion. I can't think of any reason why they would exclude that, Dr. Charlie Brown, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and the chair of @ACOGDXI.”

"physicians w/o adequate abortion training may not be able to manage miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or potential complications such as infection or hemorrhaging. Self-selection away from states w/ abortion restrictions will exacerbate shortages in rural/underserved areas.

“The bans nearly killed me. Theres nothing pro-life about these bans.”
May 11, 2024
Much more than a travel ban. "entails prohibiting abortion within city limits, extending the ban to residents of Clarendon regardless of where the procedure is performed anywhere in the world, restricting the sale and possession of specific medical drugs within the city"

“The Truth Pregnancy Resource Center will offer sonograms, pregnancy tests and resources for adoption. Unlike crisis pregnancy centers, it will also offer information on contraceptives and out-of-state abortion resources.”
Apr 27, 2024
“Repeated studies have found people who seek care at anti-abortion centers are told untrue information about pregnancy and abortion, including inaccurate readings of sonogram imagery and false claims about abortion’s physical and psychological side-effects.”

“The impact of abortion restrictions on wanted pregnancies w/ complications is resonating.”
Jan 7, 2024
“Doctors point out that abortion training is not just about ending pregnancies (such as) dilation and curettage — a procedure commonly used to terminate pregnancy.” My experience—postpartum hemorrhaging. Emergency D&C and 4 units of blood after delivering my first child.

“States w/ similar abortion bans to Texas saw number of med students applying to OB-GYN residencies decrease by 10.5%, twice the nationwide average. In a survey of current & future physicians conducted by @JournalGIM76% said wouldn’t bother to apply in a state w/ abortion ban like we have. This doesn’t just impact reproductive health care access in Tx; when MDs are rightfully concerned about slippery slope of restrictive abortion laws, it drastically impacts health care for everyone.”
Jan 1, 2024
“Should also keep in mind that these non-controversial, medically-indicated procedures were being performed daily without question before Tx' abortion ban. State's intervention is the issue, not judgment of doctors who are now being threatened w/ loss of license, prison, fines.”
Dec 13, 2023
“The pervasive ‘climate of fear’ among the Texas medical community is certain to be made worse by this case and the State’s actions in opposing the abortion Ms. Cox needs. Perhaps that’s the point of the State’s conduct.” @acog @MySMFM

Consequences of extreme abortion ban impacting ALL pregnancies: “I’m trying to do what is best for my baby and myself, but the state of Texas is making us both suffer. I need to end my pregnancy now so that I have the best chance for my health and a future pregnancy.”

“Heartbreaking story that paints a devastating picture of how Texas’ unforgiving abortion ban has resulted in unimaginable consequences for many Texas families.”

Revisiting the de facto ban on abortion in Tx before end of Roe. "It’s all about a total ban on abortions. That is the end goal. It’s been incremental process to chip away till we are where we are now, which is legislation that is basically banning abortion health care in Texas."
